A few weeks ago, I discussed an issue where a profile could no longer be created on WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.19. It boiled down to an issue with the Java security policy files and thier ‘restricted’ and ‘unrestricted’ flavours. At the time, I thought that WebSphere actually required the unrestricted versions.
To test my theory I […]

I have to admit that I’ve been a very poor blogger over the last two months or so.  It has more to do with a lack of day-to-day hands on with the IBM suite than a lack of topics to discuss.
I’m currently back with IBM (on a contract basis) working on an IBM Software Services […]

When defining the usage of an authentication alias in a resource in the administration console of WebSphere Application Server, there are two places the data can be specified:

Component Managed Authentication
Container Managed Authentication

The WS-Policy specification provides a simple language for expressing
policies supported by Web services. IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
supports loading, changing, and retrieving policy documents, and also supports
using policy attachments to link a given policy with a service. This can then be
used by a run time component, like an Enterprise Service Bus, to retrieve
defined policies for a particular service or operation and act accordingly.
This article shows how you can utilize standard WS-Policy documents stored in a
registry to impact run time behavior in an ESB — and then change that behavior
on the fly with no code changes or redeployment. (IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal)
